The Hollow Needle; Further Adventures of Arsene Lupin - Arsene Lupin

Publisher Marketing: This early work by Maurice Leblanc was originally published in 1909 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. "The Hollow Needle: Further Adventures of Arsene Lupin" sees Lupin cross paths with the famous Holmlock in a wonderful story of disguises, love, and of course treasure. Maurice Marie Emile Leblanc was born on 11th November 1864 in Rouen, Normandy, France. He was a novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective, Arsene Lupin. From the start, Leblanc wrote both short crime stories and longer novels - and his lengthier tomes, heavily influenced by writers such as Flaubert and Maupassant, were critically admired, but met with little commercial success. Leblanc was largely considered little more than a writer of short stories for various French periodicals when the first Arsene Lupin story appeared. It was published as a series of stories in the magazine 'Je Sais Trout', starting on 15th July, 1905. Clearly created at editorial request under the influence of, and in reaction to, the wildly successful Sherlock Holmes stories, the roguish and glamorous Lupin was a surprise success and Leblanc's fame and fortune beckoned. In total, Leblanc went on to write twenty-one Lupin novels or collections of short stories. On this success, he later moved to a beautiful country-side retreat in Etreat (in the Haute-Normandie region in north-western France), which today is a museum dedicated to the Arsene Lupin books. He died in Perpignan (the capital of the Pyrenees-Orientales department in southern France) on 6th November 1941, at the age of seventy-six." Contributor Bio:  Leblanc, Maurice Maurice Leblanc est ne en 1864 a Rouen. Apres des etudes de droit, il se lance dans le journalisme.

Au total trente recits, parmi lesquels "Arsene Lupin contre Herlock Sholmes" (1908), "L'Aiguille creuse" (1909), "Le Bouchon de cristal" (1912), "Les Huit Coups de l'horloge" (1921), "La Cagliostro se venge" (1935)...
